Here, we have a collection of Orbital Resources that include Solutions to common problems, application Emailers, and papers on topics such as drift. This will be added to in the future from our collection of responses to clients.
A few samples from our email traffic with clients, and a couple of explanations from Mike.

 Aging Drift & Offset |
When purchasing a PLL LNB customers often look to the drift to see that the LNB will stay within a certain range of the desired frequency. But what they do not allow for is the aging of the crystal and the initial offset from the desired frequency. In other words, the LNB will stay within the desired range of drift, but what happens if it is offset within that range toward one of the extremes of the desired frequency? |
| Why BCD |
Under what conditions would I want Block Downconverters (BDCs) and an LNA, as opposed to LNBs. If you want to use a single antenna to cover the entire band, you can use an LNA and two (or three) wideband BDCs... |
| Why U-Tube |
In X band the transmit frequency is in close proximity to the receive frequency. How do we protect the low-power receive signal from a nearby signal 10 billion times more powerful? |
